Clippers head coach Doc Rivers looked uncertain.
He just looked at the statistics and could hardly believe his eyes.
Just for a moment!
A full 10 points were recovered.
And the biggest contributor is actually a little-known Asian kid.
4 of 4 shots...plus 1 assist, putting everyone on the Clippers on the back burner.
"Who is this kid? Why can such a big guy shoot and handle the ball at this level?"
"And his speed doesn't seem to be slow at all!"
Doc Rivers could hardly believe that there was such a player hiding on the Thunder bench.
At the same time, the TX live broadcast room is also broadcasting the game live.
Fans at Staples Center were also buzzing.
Lu Yao's performance just now caused uneasiness among the fans present, and at the same time gained their respect.
"Oh my God, who is this big guy?"
"This guy just blows my mind! Our defenders can't catch him!"
"I really can't believe that this is a technical move that a center can do! The change of direction just now was even smoother than that of a defender!"
"The Thunder's front office is really lucky and enviable! Why do they pick up so many leaks every year! How can we get a player like Lu?"
"It's unbelievable! We have to find a way to guard against this guy! Jordan, it's up to you!"
On the sports channel, the two commentators were also very happy.
Lu Yao's performance today shocked them.
In this era, the Chinese men's basketball team is really short of such insider players, and Lu Yao performed almost perfectly.
Get back into the game.
Doc Rivers finally couldn't sit still anymore. This time he changed into the Clippers' starting lineup.
Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan are back on the court.
And here is the Thunder!
Lu Yao still stayed on the court, and Durant and Westbrook also stood by his side.
"It's really time for the bayonet to see red! We hope that Lu Yao can continue his performance just now!" Yu Jia said passionately.
"It is really a blessing for us Chinese fans to see Chinese people standing on the field at this time." Yang Jian also said excitedly.
Looking back, Lu Yao obviously felt that the rhythm on the court was much faster.
Chris Paul smoothly controls the basketball across the frontcourt. His basic skills are very solid, he can steadily push away Westbrook and make a step-back jumper.
But the basketball still missed!
The rebound fell right into Lu Yao's hands.
Durant was very happy. In his opinion, Lu Yao should stand still, hug the basketball, and wait for his response.
But he looked back.
Damn it?
Lu Yao has already started to run with the ball like a running elephant!
Durant didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately leaned over to speed up!
This is a great fast break opportunity!
Chris Paul began to speed up the defense. He is a master of steals, and many big players have suffered losses from him.
Paul's expression was grim, even mocking.
In his opinion, for Lu Yao's height, daring to dribble in front of him is simply a joke!
He is very experienced in guarding big players and is very confident in taking out the basketball in Lu Yao's hands like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Are you looking for death? Dare you show off your dribbling in front of Grandmaster?" Paul snorted, then rushed towards the basketball like a black bullet.
"Danger!" Commentator Yu Jia was on pins and needles. Paul's assault speed completely exceeded his expectations.
Boom!
But the next second, he heard the sound of collision.
What did he see?
Lu Yao actually stopped in place, firmly protecting the basketball, and separating Paul with his body like an iron wall.
The next second, Lu Yao faced a big fight and got an opportunity without hesitation.
A scene that shocked the whole audience appeared.
Facing Paul, Lu Yao suddenly started to speed up and made a three-meter-long change of direction on the spot!
Paul's shot just now was a stud-like gambling defense.
This time, Lu Yao ate Paul completely.
After entering the inside line, this is Lu Yao's world!
He didn't slow down, but continued to accelerate towards the basket.
nonsense! In this case, only a fool would choose the iron-blooded mid-range shot, right?
Lu Yao, he holds the ball in both hands, his biceps are full of strength, he holds a tomahawk, and he takes off! ! !
boom!
The basketball was blasted into the basket like a bomb, and the basket creaked as Lu Yao pulled it.
Paul stood there, dumbfounded!
He couldn't even believe his eyes. This was a big man over two and a half meters tall, and he actually played basketball like this?
"Showing off my skills in front of you? I shit on your head and ask you for paper! Haha!"
Lu Yao walked up to Paul and was not polite to him in his words.
Paul is not very popular in the league because he always makes small moves that make the big players miserable.
"Well done, Lu!" Cousins, the exam master in front of the TV, couldn't help but give Lu Yao a big thumbs up when he saw this scene.
Lu Yao's ridicule made Paul angry.
However, this kid did not have an attack on the surface. Instead, he turned into a "smiling boy" and laughed together with Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao turned around, Paul frowned so hard that his facial features almost twisted together.
Paul was outraged!
He only allows himself to humiliate others and never allows others to play tricks on him. At this moment, he is trying to find a way to get back on his feet.
Finally, Paul felt as if he had found a golden opportunity.
The Thunder players haven't retreated yet. This is a good opportunity for a fast break. Paul starts up quickly like a motorcycle.
In the frontcourt, it's Lu Yao's one-man defense!
In this situation, Paul has three points more confidence in his chest. He has a very rich advantage in small attacks.
Lu Yao was ordered to do something in danger. At this moment, he could only try his best to keep up with Paul's pace.
However, this little man's dribbling was very smooth and his center of gravity was low. With both of them sprinting at full strength, Lu Yao could only predict his next move.
Paul deceived Lu Yao with a fake shot.
"A reckless man."
Paul snorted and prepared to end the offense with a pick-up layup. But just when the basketball was about to fly to the highest point, a palm almost as big as a basketball fell from the sky and slapped the basketball hard.
"What kind of fun?"
Paul was confused!
Lu Yao stands here!
He grabbed the basketball with one hand and shook his head at Paul.
"Oh! Oh my God!"
Everyone on the Thunder bench deliberately put on exaggerated expressions.
Durant on the court even held his head in his hands, showing the shocked look of the migrant workers!
"Paul's pass just now was very beautiful, but it's a pity that his pass was not human. Lu Yao's block was simply a monster!" CCTV commentator Yang Jian said.
With a wingspan of 2.31 meters, coupled with Lu Yao's starting speed.
This coverage area is simply too large.
boom! boom! boom!
After stealing the ball, Lu Yao did not stop at all. He continued to run with the ball like a running elephant.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Lu Yao handed the basketball back to Westbrook's hands.
The two sides now are really fighting each other.
Jordan used his size advantage to block Lu Yao's position as much as possible, preventing him from easily catching the ball.
"Why are you in the limelight today? How will I, Little Jordan, get you back! I will tear you into pieces!" Little Jordan showed off his stocky muscles and challenged Lu Yao.
He was very satisfied with his muscle size and felt that he could keep Lu Yao out of the penalty area.
But Lu Yao completely ignored him. He ran in the opposite direction to the three-point line of the top arc, caught the basketball, and then tried to lower his body's center of gravity to face Jordan head-on.
Just when Jordan was about to move over to challenge Lu Yao, Lu Yao charged forward instead.
It seems that a good show of Mars hitting the Earth is about to take place.
